Lilies on the grave... (HW-spoiler ahead!)

[Ayuhra]

snip.

Nanamo we couldn't save, we were dragged out of the room with her super fast.


I'm not saying no ludo narrative dissonance should happen, it's unavoidable. I am not even saying characters shouldn't die. I'm explaining one of the many reasons this death hurts, and why people find it a puzzling one. The dissonance doesn't really kick in with other NPCs deaths because they either die a distance from you, die suddenly, or you are forced to leave them as death happens. Or it's Moenbryda who quickly sacrificed her life essence so, again, nothing to be done. The Scions you are in a daze being dragged through a city but part of you knows they'll make it.

On the subject of death though...

I wonder if the Warriors of Darkness will tie into us Warriors of Light losing it.

Gale, I imagine, has to be one nosebleed away from farting Voidsent all over Eorzea while screaming.

"Golly, the Scions are all gone. At least Haurchefant is here with me-oh..... Well Ysayle and I will avenge him and go to Azys-oh...... Well at least I killed Thordan. Time to take the sword and head back with Estini-oh...... I am bad at this hero thing. How can I save the world if I can't save the people who mean the most to me?"

Hrm. Conversation for a different thread maybe
